Training on iRAD Data Quality Review (DQR) and Root Cause Analysis Methodology (RCAM)
October 18, 2024 @ 12:00 am - October 21, 2024 @ 12:00 am
Overview
Road crashes remain a major public safety concern in India. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), 1,68,491 lives were lost in road crashes in 2022. Addressing this challenge requires a systematic and data-driven approach to understand the causes of crashes and implement effective interventions.
The Centre of Excellence for Road Safety (CoERS), IIT Madras is organizing a three-day training workshop for Police Officers from the Tambaram Commissionerate on iRAD Data Quality Review (DQR) and Root Cause Analysis Methodology (RCAM).
The workshop aims to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement officers in scientific crash investigation, accurate accident data collection, and evidence-based crash analysis.
About iRAD / eDAR
The Integrated Road Accident Database (iRAD) and electronic Detailed Accident Report (eDAR) systems are digital platforms developed to collect, manage, and analyze road accident data across the country. These systems help in:
- Improving the quality of accident data
- Identifying crash patterns and trends
- Supporting evidence-based policy making
- Enhancing enforcement and road safety interventions
About RCAM
The Root Cause Analysis Methodology (RCAM) is a scientific approach used to identify the underlying causes of road crashes. RCAM focuses on analyzing multiple contributing factors such as:
- Human factors
- Vehicle conditions
- Road infrastructure
- Environmental conditions
- Driving behavior
By identifying the root causes of crashes, RCAM supports the development of targeted strategies to reduce road crash fatalities.
Training Objectives
- The training program is designed to:
- Improve the quality of accident data collection using iRAD / eDAR
- Provide hands-on training on Data Quality Review (DQR)
- Introduce officers to scientific crash investigation methods
- Train participants in Root Cause Analysis Methodology (RCAM)
- Enhance skills in evidence-based crash analysis
